This male and two females were striding towards Fourteenth Borehole when we came across them in the Auob riverbed. Already at the waterhole, and resting in the shade, was this male's brother-in-arms.

Walking along Striding Edge on the way to Hevellyn's summit.
I last walked this route, (but going down not up), 38 years ago...it seemed a lot easier then!
These strange looking small black insects were in the fresh water stream going into the ocean water. I had never seen them before nor heard of them but in checking on Google they are quite common.
I had never seen this type of a BUG before, since I did not know there were such things that sit on top of the water and crawl or stride along.
Seen on a stream in the woods nearby -
The Gerridae are a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or jesus bugs. Consistent with the classification of the Gerridae as true bugs (i.e., suborder Heteroptera), gerrids have mouthparts evolved for piercing and sucking, and distinguish themselves by having the unique ability to walk on water. Gerridae, or water striders, are anatomically built to transfer their weight to be able to run on top of the water's surface. As a result, one could likely find water striders present in any pond, river, or lake. Scientists have identified over 1,700 species of gerrids, 10% of them being marine.

Solitary Strides
No voices here, save for the crunch of white on white.
A map of where one has been, etched in the cooling light.
The world is wide and hushed, and for a moment, the path is one's alone.

The angels of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn have personalities all their own.
Very changable skies today from completely overcast to clear blue and here storm-darkened.
Early Halloween spooks, a relatively simple moc with (mostly) well lit photos!
Able to engulf a minifigure whole!
hanging out, or rather lurking, in the park at night, waiting for people to walk by, never suspecting they're becoming part of my personal pixel collection.
View of Striding Edge from the last acsent to the summit of Helvellyn, with Red Tarn to the left and Ullswater in the distance. It was great fun clambering along the ridge, the people at the bottom give a bit of scale to the landscape.

This photo is very evocative of Toledo for me. It shows the typical narrow alleyways which criss-cross the old mediaeval centre of the city, and also includes one of the four corner towers of the Alcazar which dominates the city and can be seen from miles away.
I took dozens of this type of shot but this is probably my favourite for the way the passing man is picked out in the sunlight, plus he is precisely mid-stride which reinforces the fact that his appearance in the shot was only fleeting.
